  "account": "Detroit -- As the Tigers contemplate right-hander Drew Anderson's future this offseason, his recent performance against the Washington Nationals shines a light on his potential value. During Tuesday night's 3-1 loss at Comerica Park, Anderson started his 11th start since moving into the starting rotation full-time, pitching six innings without giving any hits to All-Star CJ Abrams, who accounted for all three runs the Tigers allowed. Anderson's performance was aided by his mastery of the changeup and curveball, as he struck out 16 batters and induced eight whiffs. The Tigers' offense, however, failed to capitalize on the opportunity, getting just two hits with runners in scoring position, despite the effort from rookies Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark. Chris McCosky of The Detroit News contributed to this report.",
